December 26, and there is no other correct answer.

This type of data surfaces every so often, and my reaction is always the same: yes, the US system is woefully inefficient BUT the population is also incredibly unhealthy. Correcting for some of these factors (obesity being a pretty good surrogate) would undoubtedly change the message.

Very nicely presented, though.

The lack of nuclear on this is shocking.

Yup, we (Canada) do really poorly in this regard.

Especially as a percentage of available seats per season.

Normalize by stadium capacity for a truer picture.

I’m not comparing them.

AR won one slam.

No, I meant Andy Roddick.

3 Wimbledon finals losses to Federer, plus one Wimbledon SF loss to Federer.

1 US Open final loss to Federer.

I'm not a fan of how these are plotted.

This could have three bar plots, with "Red States" and "Blue States" on the X-axis (y-axes the same). Error bars to indicate the variability across red or blue states. Actually, it would have been even better at the level of congressional districts, but I don't know if those data are readily available.

Also, Mann-Whitney U-Test instead of a t-test (unless you can demonstrate a normal distribution).

Your mama is so fat, your dad no longer finds her attractive and this has caused a serious rift in their relationship.
